Stargate to launch Young Star mag

On Sept. 7, all compasses lead to the launch of Young Star, the latest glossy from Stargate Media, publisher of People Asia. The event, which promises to be a heady mix of music, fashion, poetry and dance, will simultaneously take place in four different venues in the country to be telecast over GMA 7.

Expected to be the biggest party the country will see since the new millennium fetes, it will present the much-awaited youth-oriented pop-culture magazines edited by Ginggay Joven. Some of the hour’s hottest spots for the young have been chosen as venues: Sanctum in Intramuros, Po Na Na in Libis, Cebu’s new nightlife strip The Village, and the Glorietta 4 Park of the Ayala Center in Makati.

Directed by Runway Productions’ Joey Espino, the launch will also be unveiling the latest collections from the young fashion label Oxygen to be worn by more than 200 models.

And will have performances by Cynthia Alexander (at Intramuros), DJ Manolet Dario (at Po Na Na), and Moonstar 88 (in Glorietta). A spin-off of The Philippine STAR’s Friday Lifestyle outings, Young Star, which also hits the stores on Sept. 7, is published by Stargate’s Choy Cojuangco, and is geared to be a highly-stylized, glossy and intelligent guide to readers belonging to the 16 to 25 age bracket.
